Welcome to this site!

One day, I had an idea: using a computer program to make the rhythm of poetry visible. My solution was to transform the poem into a table with differently highlighted stressed and unstressed syllables, which create the rhythm of the piece.

However, the program has been used for over ten years (including by me) and has proven itself to be a rather interesting tool for poets. Its field of application is syllabic-tonic versification, which is currently characteristic of Eastern European peoples. English-speaking people experienced a flourishing of syllabic-tonic versification somewhat earlier: Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, John Milton, George Byron, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Eliot... If these names inspire you to write something similar to what they created, then my program will help you achieve it.

How successful this idea and its implementation were is up to you to decide.

Please note, however, that RitmInMe is just a computer program, just a tool. It won't write poetry for you, and poems run through it won't automatically become brilliant. Even if you spend some time and effort perfecting the right side of the screen, which displays the rhythm, this will only improve the quality of your poems to some extent and help you identify the most serious flaws.

The talent and inspiration are yours, and let the computer do the routine work (with all due respect to what our predecessors created by writing with goose quills by candlelight and counting feet on their toes).

Sincerely,
Tom d`Cat (Serhii Zihulia)
